Answer: B
Operations documentation should contain recovery/restart
procedures, so operations can return to normal processing in
a timely manner. Turning off the UPS and then turning off
the power might create a situation for recovery and restart,
but the negative effect on operations would prove this
method to be undesirable. The review of program code and
documentation generally does not provide evidence regarding
recovery/restart procedures.
